Let me draw your attention all the way to the left, to what I refer to as the app bar. This is where you get to your activity, your private chats, your teams meetings and files. I am going to start in the teams section and I will work my way around. Here you can see that I have a team called the Graphic Design Institute selected, And we're talking about a big Art and Media Festival that we're putting on. So a team is a group of people that are organized around a common goal. They can be organizationally bound. They can be project teams. They can be V teams. But the key here is that these are high velocity and highly collaborative in nature So the first thing you might notice is yes, this is a threaded chat experience, and that means it keeps topics grouped together, it makes it easy for me to scan the conversation stream, and also choose which conversations I want to be a member of. Now the first message over here is directed explicitly at me And when that happens we place a red flag right next to the message here. So again as you're scanning through the conversations it's much easy to pick out the messages that are targeted directly at you. I can also bring in bots like Poly. Poly is one of the most popular collaboration bots out there and we're using Poly to help us decide, Hey, where do we take the artist after the reception. Let's take a poll on the team. So some of the options are out of the table tilt, [ UNKNOWN ] table and Pauly will go and take this object insert it into this stream and then everyone gets a chance to vote. So you know what let me actually call someones attention. So I'll start with the at symbol. I'm going to look for Tucker he's one of my main guys. So we have a pop up that pulls in the users that are And I'll say, hey, I'm about to go and meet the artist, oops, let you know how it goes. All right, so send that. Now Tucker will get a notification in his activity though all the way in the app bar, letting him know that I've mentioned him and that he has a message to come and take a look at.
